(26010, 26014, 26024, 26032 and 26042 were transferred from DCHA to DCHB. Owing to overspend on East Coast engineering, there were to be few east Coast turns for these engines over the coming months (in November, 26010 did not leave the old DMU shed at Eastfield for over three weeks). Only some extensive work around Motherwell saw the locos working at all regularly.)

Notes
26014 was one of the last remaining 26s to carry BR corporate blue livery in service, and was withdrawn in this livery. It also retained 26/0 leafspring bogies (as did 26010 and 26032) to the end (and still rides on them in preservation).

Monday 07/08/89
1A57 0925 Queen Street to Aberdeen; Queen Street to Cowlairs; and 1L51 2025 Queen Street to Dundee; Queen Street to Cowlairs. And that was it for 1989’s passenger work!

Friday 25/05/90
1712 2Y74 Dundee to Montrose; 1808 2Y46 Montrose to Perth. Unfortunately, as 26014 was in a state, the outward turn was caped at Arbroath, where 014 ran round and worked the return to Perth.

Monday 02/07/90
1355 1H13 Queen Street to Inverness; from Queen Street to Perth. After some riots at Queen Street, the train left 25 late, with, believe it or not, 26038 banking! 26014 was some 50 down by Perth, so, although allocated throughout, it came off at Perth (as per usual with single Type Twos!) The train was combined with the 1440 ex Waverley and the Joe went forward.

Saturday 13/07/91
26014+26042
Perth to Inverness on the ‘Orcadian’ InterCity landcruise (St Pancras to Kyle). 47808 ran out of coolant south of Berwick; 47562 rescued it and went forward to Waverley, where 808 was removed and 562 continued. However, the driver at Perth failed it for low power, and 26014 and 26042 go forward with load 13 (including Mk3 schlafs) to Inverness. At Inverness, they almost came back on a 1415 additional to Waverley, but there was a spare driver who took them back light. This was 26014’s final passenger working.

From January 1992
DCHB machines 26014 and 26042 were ‘transferred’ temporarily to the A pool to cover for two xos absentees hired to trainload coal (see 1992 gen for full details). 26014, 26024, 26032, 26036, 26037 and 26042 were used on a variety of DCHA trips.

26014 had been due repairs at Glasgow Works to its engine, but these were cancelled. 014 had been towed to Perth from Eastfield on 22/09/92.
